Systems Engineering Definitions
(International Council on Systems Engineers)
Systems Engineering: An interdisciplinary approach and means
to enable the realization of successful systems. Systems
Engineering considers both the business and the technical
needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality
product that meets the user needs.
System Architecture: The aggregation of decomposed system
functions into interacting system elements whose
requirements include those associated with the aggregated
system functions and their interfaces requirements/definition.

Course Mode of Delivery and Communication



Access courses “live” on the Internet from home, or from work locations
(depending on Boeing policies and management approval).
All lectures are archived for the semester and are available on-demand
24/7 for asynchronous viewing and review purposes.


Both schools use Blackboard as course platform.

Return homework through Blackboard, by e-mail or as a graded pdf file.
Course materials are posted on Blackboard before lectures for
download.
Your advisor, faculty members, and TAs are available via phone, WebEx
discussion boards and e-mail.

Missouri S&T has very limited use of TAs, due to typically small
(15-20 students) class sizes.
Teaching Philosophy
and Courses
Systems Engineering
Teaching Philosophy


The systems engineering pedagogy is to expose students to the wide
range of influences that program managers and systems engineers face
in real programs, along with the systems engineering tools that are
needed to produce the best balanced development of today’s complex
systems, while incorporating “real-world” problems that expand the
students’ knowledge base in the area of “system life-cycle.”
The students are exposed to a variety of opinions, tools and
methodologies. The end point of the inclusion of design prototyping,
electronics, software development, and validation from a real world
customer is a more personal understanding of the process and results
of systems engineering realities.

Fall 2012 Project: Squad Training in Near Real
Combat and Cultural Conditions Monitoring
NEED STATEMENT: This project is to design a means to
record/relay to a trainer the movements and reactions of soldiers
in a given training environment, allowing for the evaluation or
their ability to interact culturally with non-combatant foreign
nationals.
The scenario this will be used in will be an
Afghanistan village, although the system must be flexible enough
to be applied to other training scenarios. The information
provided to the system will be through a set of legacy equipment
as specified by the Integrated Training Vest (ITV) system. This
information is relayed to a trainer in a control room monitoring a
group of up to eight soldiers using the ITV system so that the
trainer can evaluate whether a social faux pas has been
committed. The system must be capable of monitoring,
recording, and conveying sufficient information to evaluate the
soldiers’ performance within the simulation as well as the health
of the soldiers during training. The overall budget for the
development of the system is not to exceed $5000. The system
design must be available by December 11 of 2012, and a
prototype must be available for integration into the Missouri Mote
system by May 5 of 2013.
